Hello Everyone,
Few months ago I purchase used DS5. I really like the phone. I have been reading lot's of thread and learned how to root the DS5. Finally I learned but I am still confuse about lot of things. I just now rooted to nom's PCM7 with JB patch and everything works just fine but I am missing status bar and also screen icons are very big for my likings. Also the clock, signal indicator and don't know what else is missing on the top right corner. I tried everything from Cyanogen mod setting to ADW setting but still can't get any of these things show up on my DS5. Could some one please show me how to set up DS5 where I can get clock, status bar and other things that are missing and smaller icons as well. Few post has mention about DPI but I don't know how to change DPI. I have learn some but not all of it so please someone help. I really like nom's PCM7 Rom but don't know how set up properly. Any inputs will appreciated.

Dear friend, you should read on 2nd post, there are instructions how to show up your statusbar.
-go to settings/cyanogenmod settings/ tablet tweaks/choose softbutton then untick or unchoose all option
-go to settings/themes and choose ice10 themes then reboot.
-always reboot after choose a theme
-the statusbar softbutton made the entirely statusbar not show up, thats why do not use it or hide it before change theme.
-to change dpi, go to rom toolbox lite/build.prop editor and search ro.sf.lcd_density=240; change it to 160, 180, 200, or whatever fit to you then reboot.

Change you DPI again, to a lower level (240dpi eq big icons 120dpi small). Also some launcher have settings for that (I use and recomend ADW ex others like GO Launcher).

Hello everybody!!!
So i want to change the icons of applications in the menu( not the home screen).
I look around but dind't find something intresseting.
So if somebody can help it will be great.
Thanks!!
Search the forum for android icon sets.
I found this one (i think its ok):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687826
Hope this Helps!
Use a program called better cut to install them
Thanks i'll try it!!
EDIT: i tried bettercut but it only change icons on the homescreen.
I want to change them in the menu where all apps are listed.
Afaik u cant change your icons manual. U need to install a Theme for ADWlauncher or something. Some themes rewrites your icons with Metamorph, but be careful: u need to reflash your device if u use Metamorph Icons.
Best way i found is this, it changes them in all location...
Is there a setting in CM7.2 to get the time to display all the time in the status bar the way the stock ROM does. All I see is the clock app and no settings. I want to be able to look at the phone and get the time without needing the lockscreen. Thanks for any help.
The clock is there, you have to change the color of the clock text because it's set to black by default. It is in the post to do this.
Its something like menu>settings>cyanogen settings> don'trecalltherestoffthetopofmyhead. Keep in mind some changes wont apply until a reboot so if you change it and nothing happens, reboot and see if it changes to you're desired setting.
Cheers.
Finally got it. Thanks for the help guys. Sweet ROM.
As the title suggests, I want to change the icons on cm10 but without using a different launcher. I use Desktop Visualizer but it doesnt change the icon anywhere other than the homescreen.
I would really appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to theme. I actually just want to add my own icons into the apk while keeping the stock theme.
Anyone?
Bump...
I think you'll have to decompile, edit, and recompile all your apks. I'm certainly no expert, but I don't think there's an easy way to change all your icons.
You could use MIUI, but I don't think you'd like changing your ROM, if you're unwilling to change launchers.
I'd rather change my launcher if thats the case
guess you cant have everything in life after all
I use icon changer. Only problem with it is that I haven't found how to zoom the icons from icon packs so they are awfully small when selecting.

Yes i tried that too. same problem. with desktop visualizer you can hide the icon label and have it blown up so its a better option imo
Hi Guys,
Apologies beforehand but to fully complete this look - you'll need Nova Launcher Prime. You can achieve most of it with the free version though! And around 10 minutes free time
The Icon set i'm using is ClickUI feel free to replace with any others (I love the set though!)
Also install the Android L Keyoard and set theme to Material
Firstly Alter your Apps launcher to the Pure White option. Long press and choose Edit - then click the icon to get the icon Picker.

Nice guide that you put up for people who cannot wait for 5.0 and prefer using Nova.
:good:
I tried Google Now launcher but reverted back to Touchwiz because i could not use S-Note widgets with it. Are all widgets available with Nova?
Looks really good, i had it setup really close to this, some off your stuff makes it look even better, thank you.

You can actually use Floatify to add lockscreen notifications similar to the ones in Lollipop.
For thoose of you who cannot wait for Lollipop and wants to use the lollipop theme without any struggle please flash the latest X-note rom. You can easily just change theme with Xnote controll app and there you go you have lollipop on your device with just a click. And it´s running smooth as butter just lovely. Thats why i love x-note, there is also alot of other themes to choose from. Question is if the x-note rom is avaible for all note 4 models.
Anyways im running the lollipop theme and will also do a x-note rom review as doing videos about android, rom reviews, game reviews, guides etc is my passion you can follow me on youtube ( the android dewd reviews ) stay tuned because a x-note rom review with the beautiful tw theme chooser they added you will be amazed how easily you can switch themes without nova or any other launcher and run lollipop if thats what you like.
Kind regards!
The android dewd reviews.

Sorry, no, the s-planner widget doesn't work which is sad as I really need it.
Could you please share the nova.backup file, so it would be easy for anyone to use that, after setting the icons to lollipop, so others can simply import the whole setup. Its just for folks who keep changing there look. Just my 2 cents !!
Is there a way to change the color of the notification ui?
I open the "stock android" app today and it changed the color of my notification ui from Grey to blue without messing around with it.
Is there a way to change the color back to the original in the settings somewhere (I've been searching for some hours now, changed theme and all, uninstalled and reinstalled nova and changed nothing) without installing an app for the notification ui?
I have nova launcher installed FYI.
@EmbleerFrith
I think you mean the quick settings background. It changes according to the background you set on your launcher in theory. If you open MiFavor launcher without making it default, then change the background on it, THEN hit the home button to get to the stock Android launcher, it should fix itself. I did that before, and it seems to work
Honestly I'd love to change the whole quick settings UI altogether, but I have no idea how to mod systemUI
I have noticed that it only changes if I change the theme of the phone and only then
Yes There is
Yes there is a way. You have to decompile SystemUI_ZTE.apk and do some smali code color changes. I have mine set to one color all the time.

I think it changes according to the wallpaper color set in default launcher.

can you make a guide or something? Maybe theme the B09's (or B35's) systemUI and share it somewhere? This would be a nice addition to @raystef66's ROMs, as an add-on
